Getting rid of "Unknown Caller" on V166

I've gone through line by line in the set up and we are exactly alike except for wallpaper and ring tone.

Any ideas how this problem might be solved? I don't subscribe to caller id with my provider here in so I don't think that is it. Any ideas?

Many thanks!

I found the following, but do not really have first hand knowledge of what they may do. Both are for "incoming" calls, but the description is confusing:

SEEM 0032_0001
offset 14 - bit 0: Settings > In-Call Setup > My Caller ID > All Calls (1 on, 0 off)

SEEM 0032_0001
offset 1C - bit 7: Settings > In-Call Setup > My Caller ID (1 on, 0 off)

Anyone care to offer their 2¢ ?
